Urbanization, Crime, and Collective Violence in 19th-Century France

The American Journal of Sociology © 1973 The University of Chicago Press
Abstract
This investigation treates the plausibility of "structural" and "tension" analyses of the relationships among crimes against persons, crimes against property, collective violence, urban population, and urban growth. It treats France during the century after 1830. Over the long run, crimes against property appear to have declined

    Urban Society-Gesellshaft Thesis: How Individuals Lead To Crime

    Individuals lead to crime for slightly different reasons which relate to their unique genetic character, their corresponding mental ability, their socialization and life circumstances; it is the interplay of these and other variables, any one of which may be more determinative in a particular case that causes a particular individual to resort to crime. Consequently, crime, like poverty, doesn't lend itself very well to comprehensive solutions, unless these solutions simultaneously address all the dominant factors underlying its causation in the majority of cases. The “Urban Society-Gesellshaft Thesis” goes on to say that important normative constraint which served to deter criminal behavior in the past tend to be absent in modern urban societies. The dramatic increase in crime in the 19th and 20th centuries has been attributed to the absence of a sense of community in urban societies.…

    Gangs And Crime

    The two article chosen for this assignment were Gangs and Social Change by Martin Sanchez-Jankowski and The Economic of Crime by Gary S. Becker. Furthermore, after reading the article by Jankowski I learned that many researchers had trouble defining or being able to distinguish gang related associations to groups or individuals that were not in a “gang.” Many individuals have the belief that a a gang is having two or more individuals in a group. If the group exceeds to two or more people, than supposedly that would be considered a gang. Now, the reason as to why researchers had a tough time distinguishing gang activities were because in the 18th century many gangs were associated with the lower class.…
